How often do your wolves get sick?

Ahaha! Yeah, one of mine got a wound too after I posted this, oops.

I do think the game goes easy on you 2-3 days after you unlock herbalist. Probably so you can collect herbs! 

For reference, I have 15 wolves that can get sick. Over the course of the day I will usually get 1-3 illnesses. I’ve never had a wolf sick on RO, I think. Most of the illnesses I get are from hunting or eating near rotten food. My lead gets sick all the time from rolling in poo, but I always give him a cure-all so he’ll be good for the next 3 rollovers so he can roll in all the poo he wants. 

I have a constant stock of 2-3 medicine of each kind, so I always cure my wolves basically the same minute I find out about their ailment. I have my herbalist forage all day and then at the end of the day I have her mix whatever medicine I used over the day so it’s replaced for the next day. So with this method illnesses don’t worry me too terribly much, but I’m sure now I’ve jinxed it XD.

Well my fave hunter got an infection! Thankfully I already had a cure prepared.

Ouch, that seems like a lot!  Maybe the game really is going easy on me for being new...

Most of the time, I've got a wolf getting sick every day or every other day.  Today, so far, I've had literally half of my pack get sick at one point or another.  4 wolves.  Just today. . . . just so far today. . . .I'm over the illness thing as a constant game mechanic. It's not a challenge, it's an irritant designed to push people away.

I've had two illnesses so far - diarrhea on my lead and open wounds on a hunter. Everyone else has been fine so I've built up a decent stockpile of cures

My pack has been sick constantly, basically. Only today did I just break free from a bad outbreak of the flu. It's a pain in the butt since the things needed to make the flu cure include pineapple leaves, which are in the rainforest, which I most certainly have not gotten to yet. I had to do some trading, what a pain. I had to cure like five wolves because I didn't realize that putting the wolves in a different den would keep them from spreading it at first.

I don't know if I've had the worst luck or what. I had pox early on, wounds, diarrhea, cough, tapeworm...  At one point I got so mad about having to cure wolves I yeeted an entire wolf from the pack when she got hurt during a hunt.

I've found illnesses to be excessive, but I might also just be having the worst RNG luck.

Ouch, five influenze cures sounds pretty awful!!  You might just be having the worst luck, but still, wow.

I hope I don't jinx myself, but the only sicknesses I've had to deal with so far are diarrhea and open wounds.
